Short, safe and sociable walks in your local area
Havant Walking for Health is free to attend and suitable for people of all abilities, from beginners to more experienced walkers (progression walks).

It’s a great way to improve your health and wellbeing, and meet new people.
The walks are ideal for people who would like to improve their health by increasing their physical activity levels and discover the beautiful countryside and scenery the local area has to offer. All walks are led by trained walk leaders who are there to offer information and support on the walk. The walks are graded for length and difficulty. New walkers will be asked to complete a brief health questionnaire before the start of the walk. Please arrive a few minutes before the start of each walk for registration.
You will need suitable footwear and comfortable clothing as walks take place in all weathers. We recommend you carry a bottle of water and bring any medication that you may need.We are in the process of developing some shorter 30min walks for those who cannot manage a longer distance. There is currently one from the Spring Arts Centre in Havant. It is worth checking with your local walk to see if they can offer a shorter walk than the one advertised.
